These are MOST, but not all, of the stray dogs at Anne Arundel County Animal Care & Control, some of whom have been there for weeks. To anyone reluctant to reclaim their dog, cat or other pet because of accumulated redemption fees: The shelter is waiving most redemption fees for almost all animals because it is so very, very full. In addition, Friends of Anne Arundel County Animal Care & Control, Inc. pays for any reclaimed dog or cat to be microchipped at no cost to its owner.
The dog gallery remains CLOSED to visitors but a slideshow of all available dogs is in the shelter's lobby, and staff will bring dogs outside to show to approved potential adopters. Adoption applications are accepted on almost all pets as soon as they arrive at the shelter, although strays cannot be adopted until after their 5-business-day stray hold is over.
